e etmeeeeaeespeeifieetien of L t e ie en l e-4 515 .sete l er h tlee To all whom itmag concern Be it known that ,LflnnennrH. .Srm r- SON, of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk and State of Massachusetts, dealer in stoves,

have invented certain new improvementsin cooking-ranges, whereby a greater guantity of heat (caloric) may be radiated from them. to heat theroom in whichfthey may be placed; andl do hereby declare; that the following is afull and accurate description thereof.

lVly invention consists in the manner of providing the range with two perpendicular columns to connect the two ends of the range with the mantel and to radiate heat, the columns being hollow and divided into two fiues, one for the ascent and the other for V the descent ofv the heated air or flame.

Drawing No. 1, Figure 1, is a front and end View of the range, showing also the masonry which forms the lower part of the chimney to the height of five bricks above the inantel. A, A, are-two oval shaped columns connecting the side fiues of the range with the mantel and, constituting that part of my invention, the object of which is, to increase the radiation of heat. B, B are the oven doors. 0 is the main fine. a, a, are the entrances of the side'fiues into the main fine.

Fig. 2, drawing No. 2, is a horizontal sec-- tion of the range just below the top plates, the brickwork being represented as builtup to the height of the bottom of the thics, under the side boilers, D, :D. E, E, are pieces of sheet iron bentaround the places for the side boilers and fastened to thetop and front platesof the range for the purpose of protecting the lorickworkgoverning the passage of the heated 311 or flame around of the side fiues', which fiues are covered with plates of iron to make level surfaces for the dampers to move over. The perpendicular pieces 0, c, are shown more distinctly in Fig. 3.

WVhen the back requires renewal it is'only necessary to lift out of its place the cross-bar r, 1', when the back may easily be removed and another cleaning the side flues. v or funnels may be substituted for each of put in its place, a'small quantity 'ofmortar being first spread. upon it to. cement itin its place.

escape of the gas and steam arising from the range. X, .Fig. 1, is a small door for the columns (A, A,) above described, and the effect will be nearly .thesame, yet. I believe the columns to be preferable. K is a slide or cover called the blower and is used for increasing the draft of air from below the grate by 'its'b-eing drawn ov'erthe grate and stopping the air from entering from above. Lis a plate of iron toincrease the depth of the fireplace above the grate.

The method of usingitherangetogether with my wit: 7

- y In order to kindle a fire of anthracite coal the grate should befirst about half filled with charcoal or hard wood, which should be. laid so compact as to prevent the hard coal from: getting below.it,'it should the'nbe lighted at'or' nearthe bottom. The remains ing space may then be filled with small size anthracite coal,'and the-blower (K) drawn over it. All the lines shouldbe opened and remain sountil the coal hasbecome well i nited when side and ovenfiuesma be b a V closed, unless the oven is to be used in which case the oven flue should ,remain either wholly or partly open, this depending on the intensity ofheatrequired in the oven. In broilingor toasting the slide K should be pushed back underthe oven and all the dampers opened in order that the gas and smoke may passofl Roasting may he done in the oven byv placing the meat in a pan 7 providedwitha grate tokee jthemeat above; the liquidin the bottomof tie'pan, the pan being placed near thebottom of the oven, and

the damper in the oven door,and a smallvalve in the top of the oven being open. Roasting may also be done in a tin kltchen 1n front of the fire.

' Two or more tubes improvements is as follows, to}

7 1n whlch it is wished they should remain,

In baking bread the side dampers, the dampers in the oven door, and the valve in the top of the oven should be closed. If the oven is too hot at the bottom theslide K may be pushed in under it, and if too hot at the top the damper may be partially closed.

To heat fiat-irons a pan provided for the purposewith its bottom covered with a thin coat of sand may be placed on over the fire in the grate and the flat irons placed on the sand in the pan, all the dampers being closed unless the gas should escape into the .room,.in which case theoven'damper may be partially opened; I

heating the room. When the r'ange 'gives;

out heat enough in the room without the use of; the radiating-columns the dampers (61,43) may be drawn forward so as to open 2' the direct communicationffrom' the side boilers to the side fiues, and close the pas- When sages into the radiating columns.

these dampers have been moved to the places the handles may be unscrewed and taken out, and when the dampers are to be moved the handles (f)may*be screwed'in again;

Having thus fully described a .the manner in which I construct and; arrange-the respeclZlVe parts of my kitchen range, it is to. be

understood that I have included therein leadin half wa alon the drum or mantel with which saidfcolumns are connected, so that'the draft maybe passeddirectly into thechininey, or through the columnsand mantel at pleasure, by means of the particular devices hereinbefore described. f
